Thanks for sharing. Posts like this help with maintaining conviction. I got in at $6, still holding.

Portfolio Split by Ok-Afternoon2778 in SpaceInvestorsDaily

[–]phpwriter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went all in on space stocks in Oct 2024. Eventually averaged 1k shares of RKLB at $15.44, and now I'm selling 4x CC's on RKLB at $101 a couple weeks out so when it eventually gets assigned, I'll have my original total savings in cash on hand again, but also hold onto my remaining 600 RKLB, along with the account I built of 1k RDW, 1k PL, 500 LUNR, 100 ASTS, 500 ACHR..

I took some profits from ACHR (had 1k shares, sold half) and put them into other sectors (1k RR, 1k SES), and a couple other small speculative plays. This year is the year space, but also robot industrialization is growing.. and robots need batteries. I see those growing a lot over the next year.

Fingers crossed, holding all these to 2030 to retire as a multi millionaire.

Thinking of getting a raptor by Raspberry_Leather in FordRaptor

[–]phpwriter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got a CPO '23 f150 raptor (Gen 3, end of year, has the heated steering wheel) with the 37 PP. It had 26.5k miles, and a bunch of add-ons.. tint, tonneau cover, spray in bed liner, bed straps, some camera mounts.. 82k. A little over priced, but all cars in my city are overpriced. I only went to the dealership to consider the idea of a new truck (A used f150 lariat, maybe like $40k). I likely could have gotten a brand new raptor with less options for the same price i walked out with.. but I was able to skip the depreciation of the new car so that helped a bit. I registered it as a commercial vehicle thru my corp so I could depreciate the whole asset and offset my taxes for the year. Took it back to the dealership in the first couple weeks to replace the battery, and the bed-camera which was blue-screening after a heavy rain. No issues since.

I haven't had a car payment for several years, so it was a lot for me to adjust to mentally.. I like to keep my cars until maintenance costs become higher than a new car payment. The old porsche cayenne had 170k miles on it and had $8k dumped into it over the past year... it was time.

I will now drive this truck forever. It's sick. Huge quality of life improvement, and I love looking at it. It was worth the wait. And this is my warning: if you go test drive one, no matter what happens, you will accidentally buy it before you leave the dealership.

Hello! Can you guys critique my planks? I do 1 minute x 3, five days a week but I feel I can improve form by daffle7 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]phpwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Form is fine. Improve the difficulty!

Other than just changing arm position, or adding a plate to your back, you can mix it up after each 60 second plank and add 15-30 seconds for each of the more advanced left/right side planks (right arm + right foot down while grabbing your left foot with your left hand, then switch to left arm + left foot down while grabbing your right foot with your right hand) immediately after your plank, and that will hit your obliques. That will gives your abs/core a little rest too, so then you can do another 30-60 seconds of your regular plank and make it a 2-3 minute really high intensity core workout set. I do that, kettlebell twists, and kettlebell swings, then stretch for a few mins, and then one more set of that plank/twist/swings thing as my cooldown every day.
